Cory’s Story

Born and bred on New Zealand’s rugged West Coast, I grew up on a dairy farm, about as far as you can get from New Zealand’s ‘City of Sails’ in Auckland.

At seven years old I fell in love with the idea of sailing the world. I’d read a book about Sir Peter Blake, and feeling the thrill of adventure in those pages, I knew I had to get into sailing. So that summer, I did, and from the very first time I sailed, I was hooked.

Following in the footsteps of Sir Peter Blake, Cory’s goal is to achieve greatness in one of the toughest and most gruelling sports there is - solo offshore sailing.
